Quote: I guess I can't understand the logic in purchasing ARP nuts but not studs?!?
That part is pretty simple.... cost... plus like they say now... ARP hardware... they arent lying... just not telling it all
Although it surely was not their intention, I know of one customer that bought the $4,500 aluminum block and saw the ARP on the main stud nuts, and really did think he had ARP studs!!! Can you imagine that? He would have paid whatever small additional cost there might have been to get a premium main stud like he puts in all his other much less expensive engines! Are the Ford and Chevy blocks that get the ARP fasteners more expensive than this HEMI block?
